Phylogenomic data from a rapidly increasing number of studies provide new evidence for
resolving relationships in recently radiated clades, but they also pose new challenges for …

Here, we review progress and prospects to explicitly test for long distance dispersal
biogeographic events. Long distance dispersal represents a “jump” across some kind of …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Historical patterns and processes of plants with an American
amphitropical disjunct (AAD) distribution have long interested botanists and …

Pollinator-mediated selection is a major driver of evolution in flowering plants, contributing to
the vast diversity of floral features. Despite long-standing interest in floral variation and the …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: American amphitropical disjunction (AAD) is an important but
understudied New World biogeographic pattern in which related plants occur in extratropical …

Abstract Endemic to the Neotropics, Monnina is the second largest genus of Polygalaceae,
yet little is known about its phylogenetic history, biogeography, and morphological character …

The tribe Olyreae comprises 124 understorey herbaceous bamboos species and almost all
of its species are distributed in the Neotropics. Only Buergersiochloa bambusoides is found …

Speciation is a complex process typically accompanied by significant genetic and
morphological differences between sister populations. In plants, divergent floral …

Substantial morphological variation in land plants remains inaccessible to genetic analysis
because current models lack variation in important ecological and agronomic traits. The …

Phylogenetics is crucial in the study of evolutionary processes and events transpiring in the
course of species diversification. Phylogenetic studies within kingdom Plantae often reveal …
